What is wrong with this picture?

The vapor barrier is missing about a foot of protection around the middle of this home, therefor defeating the purpose of the vapor barrier entirely.

So be honest, how many times have you seen this? We see it quite a bit… but certainly not from our builders! According to Jeanette Fitzgerald of WoodSmart Solutions, Inc. there is an estimated $9-10 billion is spent correcting construction defects each year. 80 Percent of those defects are moisture related, and 41 percent of those developed in the envelope of the building.

What problem does this cost for the builder? Here are just a few.

Molds and toxins can infect indoor air quality.

Moisture related problem can affect the health of homeowners.

Potential legal problems from said homeowner.

The fact that termites love a deliciously moist house. Ew.

How do you fix it?

A decent sewing class
